The key to drawing a Christmas landscape is in the details. You have to be creative to make your snowy landscape look different than all the other snowy landscapes. Here are two methods to draw a Christmas landscape.

1

Start by drawing the land. Since this is a winter landscape, the ground will be covered with snow.
2

Draw another curved line on the background of the first.
3

Draw two or more pine trees. If you notice, they look like triangles with jagged edges.
4

Add a Christmas star in the sky. Add a star on each of the trees. Don't forget to put a little bit of snow on the tree.
5

Paint your drawing. Use soft colors like sky blue, and a very pale purple and white for the sky and snow. And, of course, paint the trees green. Use gradients and texture as you wish.

Draw additional stars in the sky.
It's not always winter when it's Christmas. If you want to be original, draw a beach scene showing Christmas in Australia, a barbeque in New Zealand or a sunny scene in Florida.
